Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

Juniper turned at Ikuze shout and eyed the pair of thieves. Suspicious of the instrumentalist warning he decided to let them know where the baroness had high-tailed it off to. "She went below decks to the brigg, got a stow-away on-board that she wanted to... interview. Follow the ladder-wells as far down as you can go. You'll see a water-tight hatch. It will probably take the both of ya to get 'er open so work together to spin the wheel and she'll be right inside." He'd go with them, but right now he was the only one in charge of steering.
"Well kiddo, that part is simple enough. I don't know who "her" is that you're looking for mate, but I do know who's in charge of this ship-- and you're talking to her." Caitlin leaned on the bars locking the kid in the brigg. He was stuck the moment he snuck on board inside that box. He just didn't know it yet. Her crew were very good about catching interlopers and the like and they always managed to get them down here without causing a scene. "Tell you what kid, you give me your name and tell me why you're here, and I'll give you mine. Does that sound like a fair deal?"
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava wiped away her tears and stud up "well, shall we? who else tried to sneak on a ship today?" she went over to the water hatch thinking why would they have a water tight hatch on a flying boat as she put got in place to open it , waiting for the Blue haired Pirate to help her open it "if it another bandit someone i know i will just drop every just to beat them up and get answers" the boy turned to see a lady looking at him , the eyes of the boy with the 2 colors seem magical and the way that he was dressed was nothing that was seen in Lodan, "well that does not sound like a fair deal if its 2 for 1, lady. it be like getting more and then you could throw me off the ship easy , i learned that the hard way before so lets keep this to 1 for 1 shall we?" the boy stood fearlessly as his pupless eyes looked into her eyes " I am Axis Campbell, from the lands of Ca a'lla, and one of the its land protectors. now its your turn to answer"
"Stow away? Hell, even I know not to stow away on a boat. For one thing, no quick way out." said the thief as she followed the directions to the ladders, climbing all the way down to the level where the water-hatch was at. She helped Rava to open it before poking her head down the now open hole, motioning for Rava to stay put for a moment. "Um, boss? You busy? Heard about the stow-away, and well, we think we maaaay have figured out these "Bandits" plan... a trap. For you. Miss here was just the bait." she called down, not wanting to interrupt in case she was in the middle of a more physical interrogation.

The water-tight hatch was more for security than flooding, since it was so hard to open and sealed up completely tight keeping out airborne and waterborne threats, not that anyone was asking. Miss Caitlin was impressed with the kids tenacity and smiled widely at him. "Well then, that does sound a bit unfair and you're right." She paused to let him make his introductions before making her own. "I am Baroness Caitlin Cockfoster of the city of Lodan, and you young squire, are on my private vessel. This is trespassing of course, so I hope you do understand why I have you locked away and all that."
Ikuze voice called down from the hatch and her ladyship answered without taking her eyes off the kid. "Curious theory you've got there lady but not one that hasn't also crossed my mind. Please, do come in and we can sort out some of the particulars. Four heads are better than two I'd like to think." She was being courteous to include Axis. She wouldn't dismiss his timing in stowing away as mere coincidence, and as such, she intended to find out the real reason why he is here.

as Rava followed the Blue haired Pirate into the brigg where she seen the pirate queen talking to an odd but familiar person ..... "Girl with 2 color eyes and had weird clothing !!!" ....... suddenly as if the Rage inside Rava just Exploded in one big mess as her words explained what was going to happen next "AAAAAAXXXXXXIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSS!!!!" instantly pulling out her dagger she Rushed to the lock the entrance of the brigg "sorry Queeny but Move!!" Rava tired to move the Pirate queen to the side the side since she was not the one she wanted to hurt at all costs, opening the Brigg and jumping in as she starts to Dash at the young Boy as she attacked.
the Boy moved out the way of the attack with some speed as he moved back out the way of each attack "AH Rava was wondering what happened to you, Robo mudo!" the boys voice now sounds more girl like as the fight kept going as Rava chased the young child around the Brigg as there words start to changed from one language to another as this game of cat and mouse went on "VEN AQUÍ!! USTED POTRANCA RATA Y MUERE!!" after a few more attack Rava Dagger made contact to the clothing of the Boy and slicing them but thanks to the speed the kid was not harmed " Rava! usted Bandido engreído! " the boy ducked under one of her attacks and with one swift punch Axis Punched Rava in the belly forcing her to instantly hold herself and back off to the wall as she was in more pain then she can handled , Axis looking at his clothes and ripped off what was ruined , revealing that Axis is a Girl.
"Enough Rava!! I did not want to come here to fight you and argue in Ca a'lla Spanish!, I came here to Order you to Make your Bandits STOP!, they have nearly ruined the Islands of Ca a'lla and killed Nearly or captured everyone!!" Axis was not kidding as she show some anger in her voice "they are not my Bandits...... anymore .... i got Exiled .... due to them getting my son .... if you have not noticed , Rat! " Axis looked at her , noting the thing but she was not done " well you are coming with Me so you can stop this that YOU started!! you are held responsible since this is your son who your idiotas of bandits seem to think it a Rebirth of Your Grandfather!" Rava still in pain stood her ground "and you dont think how i feel about this, Rat!! , am as upset as you since i got abandoned and had my son take from me!, " Axis just looked at her and shook her head " still you gonna make this right! and i will make sure you do , then Ill make sure that your Never get a chance to Return to Ca a'lla, even if i have to kill you! , is that clear?!?! " Rava just grunted and Grind her teeth as Axis turned to Caitlin who she and Ikuze seen the hole episode play out "where were we? ... oh right , i will need your help too , ill be grateful and let you have what every you find from the bandits as well under the conditions"
Ikuze blinked as the scene transpired in front of her eyes. "Whoa whoa whoa... hold on a second here." she said as she held a hand to her forehead. "First up, are all you people obsessed with killing or something? Seriously? Sheesh, if this Ca- whatever place of yours is like this all the time, remind me to stay in Lodan. At least there I've only got the gallows to worry about if I'm caught." she said, sounding quite exasperated by the whole thing. "Second, the hell do you know about this situation with these... bandits? Honestly, the more I hear about these people, I'm getting the feeling they aren't so much bandits as they are a bloody army of some country somewhere."
The thief grumbled before looking at Caitlin. "The whole thing so far is just sounding like one big trap to get to you Baroness. Them dumping her on our doorstep, the whole story about her kid getting ripped out of her, and now this boy-girl cross-dresser here getting in on the act." said Ikuze with a wave of her hand towards this Axis person. Whom she then glared at. "And oi, kid. Excuse me, but how the hell do you get the right to say if someone doesn't get to go home again eh? Just because these bandits are idiots and wrecked your place, don't mean that Rava here's gotta take the punishment. Are these bandits being allowed back eh? Or is it just her that's banished?" she asked, walking towards Axis until she was within punching distance.
Not that she would punch the kid... unless she made her angry first. "Who died and made you Queen eh? You're a kid. The hell makes you oh so special that you can just decide who gets to stay or not in their own damned home?"

Caitlin was bumped casually to the side as her two newest guests went at each other like angry cats in a bath. She watched with mild agitation as they tried to mutilate one another. Then Ikuze stepped in. Caitlin was starting to really appreciate her decision to pair up the two thieves. One of them was going to need a level head.
"if you are all quite finished!" Caitlin raised her voice before any more tempers flared. "I'm making a judgement call right this minute. Axis despite your sudden revelation as a young lady, you have acted rashly and I cannot allow you to roam the ship freely. You will remain in the brig, and I will have someone send down a few luxuries to help you get comfortable. Ikuze, I need you to deliver Rava back to the medical ward with the strictest instructions for Fulke Sr. that she get additional medical treatment and stays in the infirmity till I return later this evening to collect her. We three (pardon the exclusion Axis) will have dinner in my cabin. Afterwards, once I've decided where to go from there, I will come back to see you, Axis, and we can figure out how to handle this cross-roads with your Ca a'lla.. understood??" She eyeballed them all very sternly.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Axis did not like this one bit and got in front of Rava to stop anyone from taking her " sorry i cant let you 2 take this Monster , you dont know what she has done that as made her one of the most wanted dead person, she alone in Ca a'lla had killed more the a lifetime of people in her youth including my father! who My Father killed her father who was a bad as her! am not allowing her to leave here not until we reach Ca a'lla , then i can let my uncle chose her fate, hopefully she will Burn for everything she as done , you would be better off with the Money from her Bounty then to have here Alive!! or are you that stupid that yo!oKS" Axis was interrupted by Rava charging into her and throwing her into a wall
" oh no you Rat! am not gonna letting ya take me home to just get executed!" amazingly Rava was fight through the pain , she was more angry then ever that, the pain was only the fuel for her resole " yeah sure i killed some people and your father but then i was with the bandits at that time , now am not! since i know i cant go back , am just a washed up lady who had her baby cut out of her by people who i called family and abandoned but now am just me! and am not gonna miss my 2ed chance here!" Axis got herself up and rushed at Rava with fists ready as the 2 broke out into a fight again.
it felt like this scene had played out before as a young child and a older woman fought like that this had been happening not from just them 2 but there fathers and possibly there ancestors have been at each others throats for as long as this had started. a cursed attraction to each others destruction
the fight ended as Rava Managed to get a kick in that sent Axis flying into some boxes and the wall again , breathing out of breath , in pain and pushed. Rava felt to her knees. " got the little .... Rat ..." Axis was out cold but had a few cuts on her " .... can someone kill her .... she may .... say may get up and try and kick my booty... or if guts...... our booty again "
Ikuze nodded at Caitlin then facepalmed at both Rava and Axis. "This trip's going to be a long one..." she groaned before she went to the cell and tried to grab Rava by her ear as if she were a naughty child. "Here's a bright idea... STOP TRYING TO frakING KILL ONE ANOTHER!" she suddenly roared, glaring at the older woman. "I am honestly surprised that you bloody Ca a'lla lot even find time to sleep with one another to keep popping out kids with the amount of damned killing it sounds like your place gets up to. How you aren't all fraking extinct is beyond me!" she growled, trying to drag Rava by her ear towards the infirmary. "See you later Baroness. I'll be back down to give the cross-dresser a right roaring once I've gotten this one back to Fulke!"
Post by Caitlin Cockfoster on Dec 5, 2013 1:35:56 GMT
Extinct?... Caitlin actually laughed out loud at that remark and smiled big at Ikuze. "A wonder indeed," She nodded to the girl when she finished and gave a stern look to the other two. Caitlin crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at the pair of Ca 'alla's.
"Take this to heart you two. Everyone else on this bloody ship is a member of my extended family EXCEPT for yourselves. Act out or displease a single one of them, and I'll give them my leave to toss you each overboard and watch you sink through the clouds to your demise. As far as I'm concerned, neither of you are to be trusted, and if you want my trust (and believe me.. you do.) then you will have to earn it." She gave them a long stare then walked to the hatch. Looking back over her shoulder, she added one last reminder.
"Ikuze, Rava, meet me in my cabin for supper. And don't be late."
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty.

Rava didn't say nothing since she know she already on a one way trip and known what she was not trusted at all due to what the pirate queen known of her past from her application that the bandits sent her, what she didn't know is how Axis found her here? , it had been a good few years since she left Ca a'lla and last time she was there she was only 16 when her father was killed by Axis's father who then she killed back for taking his father life and sealing his dagger back and then Axis has been trying to kill her or bring her down ever since but in the last 4 year she had not seen her till now. being dragged out by the ear was new though "och och have cut that out!" this was the 1st time she was being dragged by the ear due to her upbringing was more trail and error. but what mattered now is doing her trail as soon as possible and quickly. knowing if Axis was here then the more her anger would force her to fight. it would get her killed in some manner if it was being thrown off a flying boat or from Axis , or from an execution. that she didn't want at all.
some time passed and Axis had only woke up , she had been out since Rava kicked happened so she didn't catch anything whiles she was out , she got up and tried the bars but to no effect , she need a plan to brake out , Get Rava and off this ship even if it was jumping into trees to land safely , so she started to plan her next action , that was no way she wanted Rava to be free , and no way she wanted this to end but for her wanted ending. well atlest the ship was made from wood partly and metal "HAY IDIOTS LET ME OUT NOW !! "
It was a bit of a sight, the younger shorter woman dragging the taller older one by her ear which caused a few of the passing crew to chuckle a little till they reached the infirmary. "Hey! Fulke Sr! You still here big guy?" she called out, finally releasing Rava's ear. "Baroness wants you to fix up Rava again. Got into a fight with the stowaway down in the brig. Oh, and you're to keep her in here with you till she comes along to pick her up herself." said Ikuze as she relayed Caitlin's orders.
She looked back at Rava. "Now, stay here. I'm going back to give your friend a bollocking next." she said before she left the infirmary and headed back for the brig. Once she got back, she'd look at the girl in her cell. "Alright miss cross-dresser. Listen up cus I'm only gonna say this once. STOP TRYING TO frakING KILL EACH OTHER!" she roared. "How you lot aren't all dead by now is a bloody mystery. So she killed your dad. Your dad killed her dad, the hell did you expect her to do eh? Here's an idea little missy. If you're such a righteous noble arse, why not try to do the noble thing and quit killing? Is all you Ca alla lot know to do is kill and Frak?"

Fulke Sr. was in the infirmary still, and merely shook his head at the record-breaking time in Rava's return injuries. "You are going to be a regular around here, I can already tell," he said to her, then thanked Ikuze for the info before the girl turned around to leave. Next to him he patted the medical table and urged Rava to take a seat.
"I might just have to give you some staples instead of stitches if you insist on getting yourself damaged every time you leave my facility."
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava sat down on the table "hay the stoaway started it! i was not my fault " she was right, ever since her anger for Axis started it has been unatral since she meet the girl but there was not much she could do about it . "I was forced to by something , like my brain just snaped into rage for bloody Rat , i dont know why .. "
Axis looked at the girl, " you just judgeing by what you have seen upto now? well missy let me give you a history lesson in Ca a'lla" Axis said as she sit down on a box "long time ago Ca a'lla was once a land full of Magic and life , it was home to a powerful wtich who was said to be unageing and had magic beyond even humans understanding. it was around this time that my great Grandfather was found, an Oprhan and he was gifted with a natral infinity to Magic what was simuler to the witches so she took him in and adopted him as a son since she could not have children. now my Grandfather learned to use his magic to heal the earth and give life to the plants and treese and in return they gave him more power. it was around this time when the Green bandit arrived in Ca a'lla and started to do what bandits do , pillage, plunder and stuff. so Really in a way Rava is not a Ca a'lla but of a De'vota or Zen' nova beginings , am not sure" she ajusted herself " now these Green bandits where the worst , and as soon as the leader found out about the unageing witch, He wanted to be unageing so he could Rule forever. but he was stopped by my grandfather countless times. he even built himself an army to storm the place the witch lived and worked at. but he was stop by my grandfather once and for all , as my grandfather killed him by knocking him off the roof of the castle and made him fell to his death. before the Leader died he cursed that our bloodlines would forever be killing each other before his landed and he body was shattered and splatted." she got up and walked over to the bars " and to this day my familly have been protecting Ca a'lla from them, so reall am peaceful , it Rava who is not , am just doing my job and making her pay for all that she and her bloodline has done." looking at Ikuze with a full on angry look " your the one acting like a know it all i bet you have not seen things that could ruin the world? or any evil as pure as black, i bet you dont even have the guts to make the right desitions , that you never had to kill someone you loved to give them peace or hold a friends hand as they die in your arms ...... " she waited for Ikuze recation this this question " if you have not seen the worst that people can be then you dont know anything ... and if you want to prove you right come in here and will desccuse this in a differnt manner"
Ikuze leaned against the wall and listened to the kid before rolling her eyes, groaning and facepalming. "The pair of you are idiots..." she grumbled before looking at Axis. "You just said it yourself, that her grandfather was the one who started this dung. That he's the one that made this little curse of your bloodlines... and never occured to any of you, not even your oh so wise and peaceful grandfather, that maybe, just maybe, it'd be a good idea to, oh I don't know... Undo the curse that's causing you lot to bloody kill each other?!" asked the thief who was really having a hard time understanding any of this madness.
"You said it yourself, her grand-dad made this curse to keep his bloodline fighting. So, if you lot had half a brain between you, you'd see that it ain't Rava's fault you idiot, its that stupid blood curse whatever that's on her! And it was on her dad, and now its on her kid." she said, hoping that the kid in front of her would get the point she was bluntly beating over her head.
She let out a mirthless chuckle. "No, I've never had to kill. Aye, I've seen people die in the streets. I've even seen people I grew up literally fraked to death cus some rich bastard paid the brothel boss gold to do so, and then fraked the corpse till it was cold. I was born and raised for 'bout eight years in a brothel kid. I've seen what kind of screwed up dung people will do. Almost became one of those screwed up scenes if I hadn't managed to leg it." she said before standing up straight.
"I'll only kill if I have no other choice. Something that you peaceful green magic lot seem to have forgotten in your little war for immortality. So, who's the bigger evil? The ones that have no choice but to kill cus of some curse, or the ones who keep on killing, knowing that there's a curse, but don't do a drat thing about it, and preach that they're the good guys. Or girls in your case." asked the thief before she blinked and chuckled. "Wow... where'd that philos-whatever stuff come from?"
